    So, I have been very intrigued by dirted tanks recently and decided to set up a 3 gallon cube in this way. I am not using any filter in this aquarium and I don’t plan on putting any fish in it as of now, but that could always change. I started with a mix of potting soil and dirt from my yard Next, I capped it with a thick layer of sand to keep the dirt from getting into the water column. Lastly I added a few struggling crypts from my 75 to see how they do. If anyone has suggestions or comments on this setup, I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance!

    I have a featherfin catfish in with 5 angels in my 75 gallon aquarium and they get along well.

    That is such a cool mug!! I need a t-shirt that says that lol

    Looking good! I have had the same rack system with cinder blocks going for about 4-5 years I think and it works very well for me

    Makes sense cuz the great salt lake is there lol

    That looks super cool! I only have pink/red ramshorns, so that is something i've never seen before.

    I know this isn't really related to the post, but that rack of tanks with the guppies and bristlenose looks absolutely amazing! Brine shrimp too. What strains of guppies and plecos do you have going?

    I love this idea, very simplistic and beautiful! I am certainly tempted to set up something like this. I agree with @Miska that some nice red cherry shrimp or maybe a nerite snail would look great in there!!

    Super excited to see how this goes!! I am also from Maryland (deep creek lake area-western) but it is great to see that you are taking steps to protect the bay!!

    In an ideal world it would probably be nice to have a better light, but for low light plants it will probably do fine. Just keep an eye on the plants and if they seem to be struggling, the light may be the culprit. Hope this helps

    My brother had an African dwarf frog in our shared bedroom and it was definitely louder than I expected. Would not recommend😂

    Maybe some cherry shrimp instead? They tend to do better with lower temps, but I definitely understand that you want some fish. Some H. Formosa possibly?

    Hey neighbor!!-western Maryland here;) I don’t have a ton of experience with summer tubs, but I had 2 a couple years ago and used a solo sponge filter in each. If you have more than one tub I’d probably go with one species in each, but if you only have one then you would probably see fewer numbers of each, but it would still yield results.

    Looking good!! What kind of light are you using? @mkeyz

    Welcome to the forum!! For a bottom dweller, kuli loaches are a great option, or you could go with some smaller cories like pandas

    @Afishionado Thank you! In regards to your question, I believe it is completely personal preference. I don’t have as much time/ interesting things going on in each aquarium to do a separate thread for each, so I have consolidated them all into one journal, but I certainly enjoy reading posts on specific aquariums!

    Welcome to the forum and the mts club!😂 it’s a lot of fun!! Your aquariums look amazing by the way
  19. Levi_Aquatics
    Love that val in the 40!! What fertilizers do you use? Any special light or substrate? Thanks
  20. Levi_Aquatics
    Welcome @Afishionado your aquariums look amazing and I appreciate your thoughtful introduction of each! It sounds like I have a similar fishkeeping style to you, so I will enjoy seeing what you end up doing with your aquariums!
  21. Levi_Aquatics
    There are so many options to pick from. I would probably do guppies or endlers, but there are many interesting tetra species that would look amazing too! Welcome to the forum!!
  22. Levi_Aquatics
    Crushed coral works well for me. I have had success with guppies from aquabid in the past

    You might be a NERM if you stop by your lfs more than once a week on the way home from baseball practice to seee if they have any new fish and to sell plants to them....
  24. Levi_Aquatics
    Wow, that looks amazing!!
  25. Levi_Aquatics
    One of my lfs keeps one as a “mascot” and it is super cool, but definitely out of the question for 99% of aquarists.
